SUMMARY:Lecture: Repurposing Everyday Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Repurposing Everyday Buildings: Extraordinary Renovations of Ordinary Structures\nBea Spolidoro & Eric Fisher\nTuesday\, March 26\n6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. \nLandmarks Preservation Resource Center\n744 Rebecca Avenue\, Wilkinsburg 15221 \nIn the past\, only large institutions could afford to completely renovate their buildings. Yet now\, private clients are often asking architects to radically renovate modest structures. Although their primary interest may be in lowering the project budget\, many owners are also happy to preserve the past\, minimize their use of vanishing resources and communicate a progressive brand. This lecture will feature examples of European adaptive reuse\, where citizens respect history but funding is often sparse. Come learn why preserving a variety of buildings is important\, not just those that have been deemed special and be introduced to examples of extraordinary renovations of ordinary structures and techniques for implementing adaptive reuse strategies in unexpected ways. \nAbout the presenters: \nBea Spolidoro AIA\, LEED Green Associate\, WELL AP\, is an Italian Architect registered in Pennsylvania who has been working with Pittsburgh-based firm Rothschild Doyno Collaborative since 2012. She is an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) at a local level. Her Italian background motivates her to be a steward of healthy\, sustainable design and of preservation. As a result\, her projects aim to improve both the built world and society. \nEric Fisher AIA\, LEED AP\, is the principal at Fisher ARCHitecture\, a Pittsburgh firm he founded in 2006. A fourth generation Pittsburgher\, Eric has more than 25 years of experience as an architect\, working in Europe and the United States\, including a four-year apprenticeship with Richard Meier detailing the Los Angeles Getty Museum. He holds engineering and visual arts degrees from Dartmouth College along with an architecture degree from Harvard University. \nThis lecture is FREE to public. RSVPs are appreciated: marylu@phlf.org or 412-471-5808 ext. 527. \n

SUMMARY:ACSA/AIA Housing and Community Development Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Avenues of Exchange: Professionals\, Researchers\, and Communities Building the Equitable City \nWednesday\, March 27 – Thursday\, March 28\, 2019 \nA program of ACSA and the AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community\, presented in partnership with AIA Pittsburgh\, ULI Pittsburgh\, and Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation \nJoin the 4th annual ACSA/AIA interactive workshop that will explore opportunities to expand exchanges between academics\, communities\, and practitioners to advance the teaching and practice of housing and community development and\, ultimately\, help build the equitable city. Presenters and participants will share and analyze successful examples of projects\, programs\, and resources in Pittsburgh and across the country\, while opening the conversation up to new collaborations. This workshop is ideal for architects and professionals passionate about housing and community development and looking to join a national community of peers. \nToday\, as Pittsburgh\, like cities across America\, attracts new investment while confronting housing inequities—and as architecture students demonstrate renewed political engagement—how can housing design education and architectural practice best serve disadvantaged communities? \nThe event will take place over two days with an evening lecture and reception on March 27 and a half-day workshop and local project tour on March 28 to look at models of best practices in housing and community development. Participants will get out and see what’s happening in Pittsburgh and meet with people who are involved. \nClick here for more information.\nEarn up to 6.5 CEUs with the opportunity for HSW credit.\n
